Personally I LOVE food trucks. All kinds, I think they are brilliant and a great way to taste your way through the culinary world. They aren’t cheap but usually have some great food.
Yesterday we have a wing food truck here at the resort. 1. I LOVE WINGS 2. I already said how much I love a food truck.
Our neighbours J/K from Maryland actually told us about the food truck coming in. I didn’t know what kind of food, but they had me at food truck. Shortly after 5pm (when the truck arrived) we headed out! We had at that time found out from J/K that it was a wing truck as they had already placed their order of Buffalo and Salt & Vinegar wings with fries. S &V ?!?! Another favourite obsession of mine, in the form of potato chips. So off we went and ordered 10 each of S&V, dry jerk, and lemon pepper with a order of fries. Now that sounds like a lot, and it is, but wings are great cold and also great for a snack! So one can never have too many.
The food truck owner was a little frazzled it seemed, and to be fair there was a heck of a line up behind us. Seems I am not the only one with a wing obsession. Wanting a insulated grocery bag to bring the food back to the R.V, I left to go get it, as my order was going to take around 15 min.
15 min later I marched my way back to the food truck, only to find out that people were seriously miffed as he had run out of wings, one order behind me apparently. Everyone was upset and talking about how people were ordering lots of wings which wiped him out 30 minutes into his shift. The only thing he had left was a chicken sandwich and fries. So here I am, holding a huge insulated bag, knowing that I had ordered 30 wings and a order of fries…..when everyone standing around would have been happy to have just 10. I was a tad uncomfortable to say the least and when my order came up and I was stuffing my bag with food, I turned around and stated, “don’t shoot me”. I felt certain that I was OK to state that as Florida is not a gun carrying state, unless you have a special permit, but none the less it wasn’t my brightest moment.
Now while I felt maybe a little guilty as Barb and I only had 5 wings each for dinner (they were huge), it is NOT our fault a food truck serving wings with approximately 20 different flavours, ran out! Seriously poor planning!
We did bump into a few of the folks this morning who didn’t get wings, they are still smiling and talking to us, so all is well and we have wings for the next two days!
